And still, you continue to leave out one Candidate for Governor, Bruce Nathan. He has been traveling all over FLORIDA from one event to the next. Why is that,? He’s on the ballot too. He will be at the Meet the Candidates Night Monday night in Bradenton FL. On Wednesday, he will be at two events, one in Miami at the CSBE Gubernatorial Forum, and in Tallahassee at the Westminster Oaks Candidate Forum. And on Friday, he will be at the Public Red Tide Meeting in Englewood as a part of the Q&A Panel. But, like I say, you continue to choose to leave him out. That’s extremely biased. You need to include him too.
